SHPP Potential in Serbia
3

Serbia’s significant hydro potential is still not sufficiently
exploited (estimated to about 950 sites with a total capacity of about
500 MW)
Modest investment activity in SHPPs up to date (only about 20
plants have been put into operation in the past years)
Plan for intensive investment activities in SHPP sector in
forthcoming period

documents of local self-government units, based on available water
resources
• production of the electricity from water resources that meets
eligibility for incentives (FiT and other) of total output due to
contribution to the national overall RES target for Serbia
